Coffee substitutes are non-coffee products, usually without caffeine, that are used to imitate coffee. Coffee substitutes can be used for medical, economic and religious reasons, or simply because coffee is not readily available. Roasted grain beverages are common substitutes for coffee. In World War II, acorns were used to make coffee, as were roasted chicory and grain. During the American Civil War coffee was also scarce in the South: Coffee substitutes are sometimes used in preparing foods served to children or to people who avoid caffeine, or in the belief that they are healthier than coffee. For religious reasons, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as Mormons, refrain from drinking coffee,〔Mormon scripture: ''Doctrine and Covenants'' section 89, 1-9; written in 1833 ()〕 but not all hot drinks;〔The LDS Church interprets ("hot drinks" ) to mean coffee and tea.〕 some may drink a substitute.〔In the same section of scripture, an (alternative for coffee ) is offered〕 Some culinary traditions, like that of Korea, include beverages made from roasted grain instead of coffee or tea (including ''boricha'', ''oksusu cha'', and ''hyeonmi cha''). These do not substitute for coffee but fill its niche as a hot drink (optionally sweetened). ==Ingredients== Grain coffee and other substitutes can be made by roasting or decocting various organic substances. Some ingredients used include: almond, acorn, asparagus, malted barley, beechnut, beetroot, carrot, chicory root, corn, soybeans, cottonseed, dandelion root (see dandelion coffee), fig, roasted garbanzo beans, boiled-down molasses, okra seed, pea, persimmon seed, potato peel,〔(Potato Coffee )〕 rye, sassafras pits, sweet potato, wheat bran. The Native American tribes of what is now the Southeastern United States brewed a ceremonial drink containing caffeine, "asi", or the "black drink", from the roasted leaves and stems of Ilex vomitoria (''Yaupon holly''). European colonists adopted this beverage as a coffee-substitute, which they called "cassina".〔http://www.econbot.org/_about_/06_awards/awards_morton/pdfs/a_edwards.pdf Edwards, Adam. (2002) "Variation of caffeine and related alkaloids in Ilex vomitoria Ait. (Yaupon holly): A model of intraspecific alkaloid variation". (Society for Economic Botany Julia F. Morton Award ).〕 Ground roasted chicory root has been sold commercially on a large scale since around 1970, and it has become a mainstream product, both alone and mixed with real coffee. It was widely used during the American Civil War on both sides, and has long enjoyed popularity especially in New Orleans, where Luzianne has long been a popular brand in this respect. Chicory mixed with coffee is also popular in South India, and is known as Indian filter coffee. Postum is an instant type of coffee substitute made from roasted wheat bran, wheat and molasses. It reached its height of popularity in the United States during World War II when coffee was sharply rationed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「coffee substitute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
